The Graduate Program in the Department of Biochemistry at Virginia Tech prepares students for careers as independent researchers in biochemistry, molecular and cellular biology, biotechnology, and related areas. Training involves a combination of advanced course work, participation in seminars and journal clubs and laboratory research conducted under the guidance of a faculty committee selected by students and their faculty advisors. Incoming students participate in three laboratory research rotations to familiarize themselves with faculty and their research. The department has strengths in microbial pathogenesis and infectious disease, cell signaling, proteomics and molecular modeling. The largest cluster of faculty conducts research on infectious diseases with the ultimate aim of developing novel approaches to disease treatment and prevention.
The Master of Science in Life Sciences merges the efforts of the departments of Biochemistry, Entomology, Food Science and Technology, and Plant Pathology, Plant Physiology, and Weed Science. Students in basic and applied disciplines in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences share common experiences that prepare them for careers in which interdisciplinary interactions become increasingly valued. At the same time, discipline-specific education and research experience, which characterizes the M.S. in Life Sciences program in each department, prepares students for unique positions and career development. For graduation, students must complete a minimum of 20 graded credit hours and 30 total credit hours.
